Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"I appointed a eunuch to serve me and assist me to lighten up my burden as the emperor." His majesty whispered to himself annoyingly as he looks at the sleeping Xu Zhengming. His complexion is pale and his temperature is quite high. He got a fever.
The emperor whispered to himself once again. "But it seems you just add up to my burden."
He picks the nearly dried towel and soaked it in a lukewarm basin of water. He then squeezed it to remove the excess water then put it on the little eunuch's burning hot forehead.
The court lady informed him that he was found lying on the emperor's bed a few hours ago when they are still away from the palace. She was about to nag him and drag him out of the bed but she found out that he got a really high fever. The court lady felt bad for making him leave the bed, and so she did not wake him up. In exchange, she couldn't stop apologizing to the emperor as she weeps.
"Your majesty..." The court lady is still swallowing her

"Eunuch Xu." Yin Wenyan knocks on the door thrice. "Are you doing just fine there?" Xu Zhengming gritted his teeth and tried to smile. "Your majesty, I am defecating here. Why are you following me? Do you intend to cheer for me to poop?" "Pfft..." Xu Zhengming heard the suppressed laughter and giggles of the maids outside the toilet. Now, he's torn between being embarrassed and annoyed. The emperor turns to his maids and raised both of his eyebrows. His face asking sincerely, 'should we?' The maids' grins on their faces got even wider. They nodded in unison. The next thing Xu Zhengming heard was a loud chant. "Eunuch Xu, we wish for your success!" Court Lady Han shakes her head and whispered to herself, "Youngsters these days..." Xu Zhengming literally laughed while gritting his teeth. He doesn't know how to react. Why does this emperor with his maids following him here? "You... you didn't eat anything ever since yester

"You flatter me, Eunuch Xu.""How about me, Eunuch Xu? Do you remember something whenever you see me?" Another maid asks as her big round eyes glimmer."You're enveloped with a lively atmosphere. Whenever you're around, your surroundings brighten. Just like the morning sun that shines above the skies. Warm and full of life."

To hold a royal banquet needs time and many preparations should be made.First and foremost, the food to serve should be planned very well by the emperor himself or if not, some high-ranking eunuchs and the royal chef and his assistants.The ingredients for the menu should be chosen meticulously from the market and to be inspected as it arrives at the palace gates.

He quickly headed towards the young lady."Good day, miss. Are you in a hurry?" And the great Xu Zhengming shows off his killer smile again. It seems it became an involuntary reflex whenever he sees a young lady of his age."No. What is it, Mr. Eunuch?" The maid casually asks."Young miss, are you lost?" He winks at her which made the young lady subconsciously take a step backward. She looks at him with a puzzled expression filling all over her fa
My Full-time Servant/Lover XII: This Beau Sneaks Out With The Emperor
Like a sack of rice, Emperor Yin Renshu carries his clumsy little eunuch on his shoulder. He leaps from eves to eves quietly. Every step's calculated. Every landing is like a light dip of the dragonfly's legs on the waters. Though it's broad daytime, everyone in the royal imperial palace didn't notice the swift movements of one of the former disciples of Wan MoliHua Palace.Good thing, this continues until they finally got out of the palace walls. Yin Renshu chooses a narrow alley to stop. He landed his feet on the ground before letting Xu Zhengming stand with his own feet."Prepare the writing equipment." Yin Renshu ordered."Yes, your majesty." Xu Zhengming answered as he grabs the writing materials inside the bag he's been carrying."Don't call me that outside the palace." The emperor realized it too late. He didn't tell his eunuch beforehand that he should stop the honorifics now that they're hiding their identity.Xu Zhengming, "Then what shou

"Did you get him?!" Xu Zhengming asked again, this time in a panicked manner.This time, he didn't get any response from Yin Renshu again. He's just silently staring at the thick layer of dark smoke. His guard is obviously not down yet which made his company feel more anxious.It's not that he doesn't want to speak, it's just he's not a hundred percent sure if he got him. He clearly attached the talismans on the creature but a split second before the explosion, Yin Renshu saw a strange dull red light.The smoke slowly dissipated and the monster disappeared from its post earlier as well. No scattered body parts are on the ground either. His majesty then looks around them to find the dead eunuch but he can't spot it quickly.Out of nowhere, a shadow hopped from above a nearby tree.

Nevertheless, they must convince his soul to store itself into the soul trapping pouch that the sect leader gave them, and bring him back to Wan Moli Hua Palace. "Hana." Sect Elder Wang stands beside the sect leader. Zhao Yangguang is busy passing spiritual energy to Yin Wenyan's body. "You're doing that for a while now. Let me take over for at least a few hours."

The entire imperial palace is consumed by fire. A lot of people turned into ashes and there are still some that have yet to get burned. Sooner or later, everyone will get the brunt.

Smoke is starting to fill the area within the four corners of the hall so it's already dangerous for the living. Inhaling too much smoke can kill after all. "Didi..." Empress Xue Chi strokes her little brother's hair for the last time. He's still unconscious and doesn't have a clue about what's going on.

The cold blow of the wind sends chills to everyone's spine. The snow is falling down, an indication that the winter season has officially started. It almost seems that the weather just waited for his majesty's last breath before it decided to make the people feel its extreme cold. Although it's getting chilly, it doesn't bother Xu Zhenging at all. He's still staring at Emperor Yin Wenyan's empty container that's starting to lose its remaining warmth. The usual gentle face of his majesty remained even until the end of his last moments. In fact, he just looks like he's just sleeping soundly. However, Xu Zhengming refuses to give in and is still holding on to the little bit of hope he has. He leads his head on his majesty's heavily wounded chest, hoping for at least a weak heartbeat. He listens attentively, waited for a little while but he heard nothing. He's really gone... Leaving his regrets and unfulfilled dreams behind. Of all times, why does he have
My Full-time Servant/Lover LXXIII: This Beau Meets His Old Friend Again (III)
The connection between Emperor Yin Wenyan and his sword weakens due to the failure of passing enough spiritual energy. Through the incantation that the emperor cast, his blade was occupying the deceased eunuch while he's dealing with the empress dowager. Now that the connection is slowly dying, his holy weapon falls onto the roof tiles. Anyone who'll come and see it will say that it only looks like a common sword now that it doesn't possess the majestic aura. "Your majesty...?" Xu Zhengming could only whisper in the thin air. Even though the surroundings are quite dark, the gentle moonlight that is reflected on his majesty's face enables him to recognize him. But as far as he knows, his majesty the emperor is right in front of him. He even talked to him just now. "Who's that..." The silly beau is too confused that he doesn't even know what exactly he has to ask. Although he doesn't know what's happening anymore, he felt his heart is getting unsettled.

Princes Yin Xiulan hurried to Yin Renshu and Xu Zhengming's side. She completely forgot her brother that is fighting to the death with the empress dowager. She even forgot her main reason for going to the empress dowager's hall: to find a way to dispel the activated array. "He's about to go berserk again!" At first glance, Princess Yin Xiulan knows it. She witnessed this before and there's no doubt about it. "What should we do? We don't have Yueguang Hua with us." Since this they didn't encounter such poison before... a poison that could turn the victims into monsters, they didn't know many ways to treat it.

Everyone is having a rough time due to this chaos that has risen. Emperor Yin Wenyan didn't have it easy as well. He can barely keep up with Eunuch Ye. Dealing with this monster for an hour or two will do but he's afraid he can't keep up for the third hour. If this continues, he will eventually get exhausted. The deceased eunuch sensed the order of the empress dowager. As her mere pawn, the creature suddenly backed off from the emperor and immediately headed out of the Union Hall. Emperor Yin Wenyan didn't see this coming. He didn't know why Eunuch Ye suddenly runs out of the hall at full speed. Of course, his majesty won't let him go just like that. He chased after him, hoping on the roof from eves to eves. He followed him closely until they reached the Empress Dowager's Hall where his sister and the empress dowager are in combat. Without any forewarnings, Eunuch Ye grabs the empress dowager on the waist and took her with him away from her opponent.
My Full-time Servant/Lover LXX: This Beau, And Everyone Else Is In Danger
Even though it's in the middle of a chilly night, droplets of sweat are forming on the Empress Dowagers' forehead. She's hiding in a dark corner while she's concentrating the flow of her spiritual energy in her body. There's one more thing that she needs to do before this night ends. The empress dowager is trying to recreate one of the most dangerous weapons that her clan made: the Crimson Javelin. The weapon does not look too different from a normal javelin, except that it has the same color as blood, and it's very deadly. Once injured with this weapon, the victim tends to die in a short time. A poison will quickly circulate in the victim's body and when it reaches the heart, it will immediately turn the organ into an iron (literally), making it an agonizing death due to lack of oxygen. There's no remedy made for it. The javelin doesn't look special in terms of its physical form at all. In fact, it's just a long shaft with a sharp-pointed end. The main diffe
